Example Compliance Change Notification - AWS Config

When AWS Config evaluates your resources against a custom or managed rule, AWS Config sends a notification that shows whether the resources are compliant against the rule.

The following is an example notification where the CloudTrail trail resource is compliant against the cloudtrail-enabled managed rule.
